:Honestly I also hate any form that is just a Classical Latin vehicle with ''auto-'' slapped on the front (e.g. ''autoraeda'' = car, automobile, ''autoplostrum'' = truck, ''autobirota'' = motercycle etc.) But many Modern Latinists prefer these forms for some unfathomable reason. --[[Usor:Iustinus|Iustinus]] 17:26 iun 28, 2005 (UTC)
:ADDENDUM: I probably should have also mentioned
I'd personally use something involving publicus, or use the Greek form laophor- (people-carryer).

Justinus posted a link to this poem, above, but it no longer works.

:What is it that roareth thus?
:Can it be a Motor Bus?
:Yes, the smell and hideous hum
:Indicat Motorem Bum!
:Implet in the Corn and High
:Terror me Motoris Bi:
:Bo Motori clamitabo
:Ne Motore caedar a Bo —
:"Dative be or Ablative
:So thou only let us live:
:Whither shall thy victims flee?
:Spare us, spare us, Motor Be!"
:Thus I sang; and still anigh
:Came in hordes Motores Bi,
:Et complebat omne forum
:Copia Motorum Borum.
:How shall wretched lives like us
:Cincti Bis Motoribus?
:Domine, defende nos
:Contra hos Motores Bos!
